GOP Rep: “Legitimate” Medicaid Use Won’t Be Cut

“I think what we can promise is that no one that is legitimately on Medicaid will lose their coverage, and I think that’s important. If you’re here illegally, you should not be on any federal assistance program.

“That’s not what they’re designed for. They’re designed for Americans that are struggling, that are below the poverty line, or that are infirm, that can’t work and afford health care.

“That’s what that program is designed for, not for millions of people that came flooding across the border and want to just live in America and have everybody else pick up the tab.” – Freedom Caucus Rep. Scott Perry, speaking to NewsNation.
